Desperate, Willy tries to relate an anecdote about Dave Singleman, an

eighty-four-year-old salesman who phoned his buyers and made his
sales without ever leaving his hotel room. After he died the noble “death
of a salesman” that eludes Willy, hundreds of salesmen and buyers
attended his funeral. Willy reveals that his acquaintance with this
venerable paragon of salesmanship convinced him to become a
salesman himself rather than join his brother, Ben, on his newly
purchased plot of timberland in Alaska. Willy decided to transfer to New
York together with his family. Howard fired Willy when he insisted on
being transferred to a place where he didn’t have to travel.
